New York The Good Fellow’s club is about closed of course, but if you feel slighted you can still give your contribution to one of the members of the Delta Theta Tau and it will be used to make some boy or girl happy. Fred Matelic, the Indianapolis man who while under the influence of white mule whiskey, shot and killed a young man who had aided him in crossing the street, will plead insanity as a defense. He and the man Kho sold him the poison should be tied r.t a bag the rest of their lives in some safe place where their insanity would not again harm others. We appreciate the numerous good wish cards we have received the past fi w days and the kindly expressions i of good will and appreciation. It makes us want to work harder than ever to please you by giving you all the news and by boosting for church and school and other community institutions. We hope every person in Adams county will have the happiest, merriest, best Christmas ever. Decatur basketball fans have certainly had their thrills this week lor the games between the Commodores and Lima and the Yellow Jackets and Delphi were hair raisers every minute, demonstrating that we have two wonderful teams here that will take good care of themselves any time and any place, to the credit of this community.

The most enthusiastic youngster will be no happier when Christmas arrives than the mail carriers an I clerks and others employed to hand! 1 the mails. At this season of the year in ev£ry post office in the country, the conjestion is terrific and it requires a lot of effort to handle the mail to the satisfaction of the public. In th:-; city on Wednesday more than ten thousand two-egnt stamps were sold and this but partially represents the business. A young man attending a college in gay old Maryland, deciding to test scientifically results oi tobacco, smoked thirty cigars the other day in eight hours and then got >ick. He ought to of course for the same intemperance in eating or drinking would bring worse results than did his smok’ng spree. No one argues that tobacco is good for the human body but likewise it can be argued that it does us little harm, moderately used, aany habit we know of and at least whatever damage it does, # is to the person using it and not to others. It is certainly not a moral issue and ■should not be. When the great drag-net of American police really wants to laud a man. he has but a slim chance to escape. William Edward Hickman, the "fox”, who murdered little Marion Darker in Los Angeles and threw het body at the reee of her father after he had paid over $1,500 ransom money, was caught at Echo, a littl' •

I y.'tt like to live I na community whore there were no churches? In thes® days there han been a tendancy for the! country church to die out; that has I been because the country people have neglected their ( '.lurches. Theie is one way to juaranteo the maintenance cf the country churches and that in to' J faithfully support pud attend them, i Statistics show that less people per; I thousand of population attend church among the country <1; trieta than In! I the cities. Is it possible that the counI try population is becoming irreligious? i We are not willing to believe this; ! ' but it should ret us to serious thinki ing and study.
